Over-reliance on global graph information in GNNs
Over-reliance on global graph information in GNNs
Occurs if the model relies heavily on global structural information, potentially neglecting local patterns and individual node characteristics, leading to poor generalization on unseen data.

Study Notes
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs)
- A GNN underperforming on the validation set may indicate issues with the model's architecture, dataset quality, or overfitting.
Regularization Techniques
- Lack of regularization techniques, such as dropout and L2 regularization, can lead to overfitting and poor model performance.
Overfitting in GNNs
- A model learning too much from the training data may be an indication of overfitting, which can be addressed by regularization techniques.
Sequence Prediction using LSTM
- Inadequate tuning of the input gate parameters in LSTM networks can lead to poor performance in sequence prediction tasks.
Image Classification with Neural Networks
- Insufficient data augmentation can result in poor model performance and overfitting in image classification tasks.
Advantages of GNNs
- A primary advantage of using GNNs over traditional neural networks is their ability to effectively handle graph-structured data.
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
- The primary purpose of using pooling after convolutional layers in CNNs is to reduce spatial dimensions and retain important features.
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)
- Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) address the challenge of vanishing gradients in RNNs, enabling more effective learning and retention of long-term dependencies.
Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) vs. CNN
- You may choose to use an MLP over a CNN for a classification task when the data is not spatially correlated or lacks hierarchical structures.
Neural Network Optimization
- The primary advantage of using the Adam optimizer over traditional stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is its ability to adapt learning rates and handle non-stationary or sparse gradients.
